How to Operate the Farebox

Cash

As you climb the steps to board The Bus, you'll see the metal farebox located next to the driver. Please put your cash fare into the top of the farebox.

Our drivers cannot make change for you, so please have exact change for your fare or you will be issued a change card which is not refundable

Bus Pass

If you have a bus pass, you'll do things a little differently. The first time you use the pass, just insert it into the farebox card reader. After that, you can use The Bus' handy swipe card reader to swipe your pass through and save time.
